As we begin this new year we look ahead to the challenges before us. Most notably is the issue of declining water levels in Georgian Bay. This past fall we saw the water drop to levels lower than 1964. Docks and cribs that were functional last year are now “high and dry”. This is most evident in narrow shallow bays. We are anticipating that many waterfront property owners and especially Marinas will be severely impacted and be compelled to perform extensive dock reconstruction and dredging.

As of September 4th Burning Permits will no longer be issued at the Transfer Stations. You will be able to apply for permits either online or at the Administration Office during regular business hours.

As well, due to changes to the Township Burn By-law you will now require a burning permit at all times during the year, January 1st through to December 31st.
